Trish, that is a thought however our payroll is done from another Trust so would have to check on that.

Trish ======================================== Message Received: Oct 24 2007, 09:27 AM From: "Ford, Diana" To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Help regarding night workers Could I get some idea of what other organisations are doing about night worker assessments? We are a large acute NHS Trust and until recently we sent a questionnaire to all night workers and collated the results on the computer. Anyone wanting a health check was given an appointment and anyone expressing difficulties with working nights was invited to see either the nurse or the doctor. All that changed when we lost our computer system and had to buy a new one which is incapable of picking up the work address of staff and would only create letters to home addresses. It is not economically viable to write to hundreds, if not thousands, of staff at home. We are looking at passing the responsibility to managers although they will not be keen. What is everyone else doing? Diana Ford Senior Occupational Health Nurse ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
